Delivered to the USAAF as C-53C 42-2022 in 1942. To NC33315 in 1945, N33315 after 1948, N89SA in 1958, N894A in 1967 and N32MS in 1974. Preserved at Best from 1999.

In the woods near the village of Best (NL) a museum called 'Bevrijdende Vleugels' (= Wings of Liberation) reminds us of D-Day, an important event in our history. The museum had two well-restored Dakotas parked outside in the markings used during the invasion. Both carry a fake serial, "290321" on this one is in fact the birth date of Jan Driessen, the founder of the museum. In real life this aircraft was USAAF 43-2022.

Ex N32MS. The serial as worn is not authentic and merely reflects the owner's date of birth, 29 March 1921.
